I will not even attempt to touch that question, my friend! I'm a new student since November, and its been stormy since then. Nothing has been typical since March 2020. Even so, I am extremely small time. I invest on stash and up to $300 in investments. My game plan for retirement is to keep...

Well last monday would've been a terrific time to invest in the US markets... And right after we talked about how terrible Mondays are to trade! There is alot of things going on right now and I am amazed the markets are at all time highs with it all. I can do nothing but watch and learn. I got...

While I am not sure I understand what your opening question is, or the reasoning for it, I can assure you that Jesus taught daily in the temple (Matt 26:55), Peter gave the first Apostolic sermon in the upper room (Acts 2) and Paul preached all night in an upper chamber and even raised someone...

You consider that a punch? Let's review: "Well you are right... Its not an excuse. There is no excusing it But I don't think its an advantage. It seems more of a convenience." I gave scripture on why going to Church is important. You ignored most of it. Is it a punch then? Perhaps... But...

Yes... You gave me "one". Frankly, I could argue the context of that one. Now, did I not give you several scriptures that point to the organized gathering as essential? Furthermore, I left quite a few out like the entire chapter of Ephesians 4. Again, I am not against someone saying the...

Few minor details of difference of thought between us, but not enough to comment on. Overall we are on the same page. I agree with what you said.

I appreciate your effort, but I still do not see it as a reason that one individual can call himself "the Church" or say the Church is in him for the purpose of saying goi g to Church isn't necessary. There is just too many verses -- Old and New Testament, both -- that express the need and...

Some verses may surprise you... Jesus said we ought to give tithes (Matt 23:23). That was still under the law... But Paul did say to prepare an offering on the first day of the week (1 Cor 16:2).

Fair enough... I really don't see that verse saying the Church is in an individual person since God called the Body of Christ (aka the Church) one body with many members, though. I don't see anything too wrong with someone saying "the church is in me", except when they do so for not going to...

Well that has me interested. I absolutely believe in daily fellowshipping at home and have no problem with that. What I am curious about is why you believe Christ's Church is in you. I have heard the Christ is in us, the Kingdom of God is in us, God is in us and God the Father is in us. But...

Amadeus: you liked my post before my final edit. Please go back and reread it... It was my fault. I posted it before finishing it by accident.

First I would have to ask if you are looking for direct quotes from Jesus himself. The reason is I believe (with Biblical reasoning) that he also spoke through the Apostles. Therefore, I believe whatever the Apostles said was also the words of Jesus. That being said, I believe the answer is...

Having been in the market for 6 months, I hate to answer that and make myself look foolish! However, in that short time span that looks to be the truth in a general sense. Why buy on Friday when numbers are green when you know Sunday night and Monday morning before trading they will be red...

Josh27 spome the truth, and I am happy you agree with him. Yes, Mary was blessed and full of grace, but so what? I too, am blessed and full of grace. So are you if you accept Jesus. Mary is special because of what she was given, but not special above any other believer.

I checked with Biblehub's Strong's Greek Concordance. Upon doing that, all indication seems to favor the KJV over the NIV. They come in stealthily. They are certain men(meaning identified men, at least by the Lord). Long ago they were designated to condemnation. There is notion about it...

Two of my favorite chapters! I do believe there is other scripture that serves as a "test" and other scriptur that tells how to "grow", but those two are fine teachings and they are enough to go on.

We don't. And this is something I see that I wish people understood. God knows, and foreordains it and predestines it. He gives us the formula and the plan. He just doesn't tell us if we will complete it. Predestination is a reality, but its pretty useless as God doesn't give the diploma...

Well, you are right! Predestination doesn't mean salvation. Sometimes it means damnation. Jude 1:4 KJV For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord...

I have to revisit these verses I quoted. I didn't see this before because I was focused on just what I put in bold, but let me now focus on what I didn't put in bold the first time: 1 Corinthians 6:7 KJV Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another...

Luke 23:34 KJV Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Jesus asked the Father to forgive them... Did they ask? No... They were stripping him naked, crucifying him and gambling to see who got his expensive robe!
